The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has filed corruption charges against former Secretary to the Government of the Federation, David Babachir Lawal.
The anti-graft agency filed the 10-count charge against Lawal at an Abuja High Court, reports The Nation newspaper on Wednesday.
According to the report, a separate charge was also filed against Ayodele Oke, the former head of the Nigeria Intelligence Agency (NIA), who was removed from office after millions of dollars belonging to the agency was found in an apartment.
Lawal was removed from office after he was indicted by a Senate committee that investigated the management of money meant to assist internally displaced persons (IDPs) by Boko Haram.
More than N200 million was believed to have been used by companies Lawal is interested in to cut grass when in the actual fact the contract was not executed.
President Muhammadu Buhari eventually sacked Lawal after many months of procrastination and protests by Nigerians.
Last week, Vice President Yemi Osinbajo announced that Buhari had directed that charges be filed against Lawal and Oke.
